3 Holiday Decoration Tips for Small Apartments

The holidays offer the perfect excuse to zhoosh your tired home décor. Whether you’re the type to go all-out with decorations or call it quits with some lights and holiday scents, there is a décor option for every person. Unfortunately, the rules for holiday décor are slightly different for apartments---especially if they feature a small or studio layout. To help you figure out holiday decorations for small apartments, we’ve gathered our top three favorite tips:

1. Get Creative With the Christmas Tree

In a tiny apartment, finding the space for a giant Christmas tree isn’t always possible. A perfect substitute is a tabletop tree or miniature Christmas tree. These quarter trees are just as festive and only require a small corner of space. A more creative option involves making a holiday tree out of an old ladder, washi tape, garlands, or wreaths!

2. Walls & Shelves Are Your Friends

Garlands, holiday cards, cabinet bows, etc. are holiday decorations that take up minimal space. Together, these decorations will transform your tiny home into a winter retreat. Garlands can include anything from dry fruit to wooden beads to greenery; find a style that works for your home and budget.

3. Decorate Your Windows or Patio

Windows are a staple in apartments and offer the perfect surface for visible holiday decorations. Simply decorate the interior of your apartment windows with:

• Hanging wreaths
• Twinkly lights
• Window ornaments
• Paper snowflakes

If your small apartment has a patio space, make use of it for the holiday by stringing up Christmas lights, hanging ornaments, or layering fake snow.
